Setting up SIMC

Setting up SIMC

Github suff

• Setup a github.com account
• Fork the simc_gfortran repository: https://github.com/JeffersonLab/simc_gfortran
  • Optionally select Watch to be notified of changes to simc_gfortran.
• Setup ssh keys on ifarm or other machines

1. Generate ssh key if you do not have one.
   1. ssh-keygen -t rsa ( when prompted for pass phrase just hit return )
   2. ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
2. Put ssh public key on Github
   1. Open the "Settings" in the pull down menu on the extreme right.
   2. Go to "SSH and GPG keys"
   3. Click on "new ssh key" button. At terminal type "more ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub". Copy the code and paste into github.

• On the computer that you plan to run and develop the analyzer, type either:

1. 1. 
      git clone git@github.com:GitHub-Username/hcana.git
      where GitHub-Username is the name of the account that you created.
   2. 
      git clone https://github.com/GitHub-Username/hcana.git
      where GitHub-Username is the name of the account that you created.
   3. On cdaq machines you must use https.
2. Do
   cd hcana
3. Do
   git remote -v and it should return (https://github.com/ could be git@github.com:)
   origin https://github.com/Github-UserName/hcana.git (fetch)
   origin https://github.com/Github-UserName/hcana.git (pull)
4. Execute the command
   git remote add --track develop upstream https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hcana
   or
   git remote add --track develop upstream git@github.com:JeffersonLab/hcana
   This will be needed to keep your forked copy and local machine copy of the code up to date with the main development repository.
5. For hcana, it is important to branch off the "develop" branch and NOT the "master" branch. So immediately do
   git checkout develop
6. To help keep a clean history and make it easier to update the main Jefferson Lab repository, please create your private branch from the "develop" branch with the command:
   git checkout -b featurebranchname
